I am a compulsive 'to-doer.' I have four to-do lists going at all times. I put things I've done on the list just to mark them off. I know. Sad.

With a full-time job, launching a writing career, and two active elementary-school school kids there is always something to add to my list. Grocery store? Check. Soccer Game? Check. Find ways to market my book? Check.

Even when I have time to relax, I have to tell myself repeatedly that it's okay to do so. To slow my mind, live in the moment, and do something - gasp!- just for fun is not a sin. As I write this, it's Saturday and I meant to sit down and catch up on the tv shows I DVR'd a month ago. Now I'm watching TV and writing a blog post. I've also wrapped and addressed a box I need to mail...

Okay, so I just might be beyond help. Enough about me. Tell me about you. What compulsion do you struggle with?
